A dog box is the term for a transmission utilizing a dog engagement. A dog box can have either helical or spur gears or both.

Dog engagement is what most race prepared vehicles use.

Advantages:
a. Engage at any rpm
b. Allows for wider gear design
c. Will flat shift (Flat shifting is a practice where the clutch or gas do not need to be totally lifted in order to shift. Users will slightly lift one or the other to unload the dogs to allow a very fast shift)

Disadvantages:
a. Difficult to drive on the road
b. Recommended only for race use
c. Special care required under normal street use
